Lake Pend Oreille

I've never been to Lake Pend Oreille (say Pon-duh-ray).

Located in Idaho, this lake is one of the deepest in North America. It is deep enough that the Navy has tested submarines in it! There are the usual water activities to be done on Lake Pond Oreille. I find its history to be as fascinating. There are disputes about the origin of the name, if it came from the Kalispel Indians or early French traders. It is rumored to have its own version of the Loch Ness Monster, the Pend Oreille Paddler.

That I'd like to see.
